Case Study: Rhode : Partners achieves more efficient, creative high-rise design with Graphisoft Archicad

Rhode : Partners designs The Independent, Austin’s tallest building in Archicad over 2 years with Graphisoft

Rhode Partners, an architecture firm, faced the challenge of moving beyond inefficient 2D workflows and disjointed software, seeking a unified BIM solution to enhance both design modeling and documentation. They chose Graphisoft's Archicad after a feature comparison revealed it as the most robust and complete platform for their needs.

Implemented by Graphisoft, Archicad provided a streamlined, all-in-one BIM environment that integrated modeling, documentation, and visualization. This allowed Rhode Partners to design the award-winning, LEED Gold-certified Independent tower entirely in Archicad, improving efficiency, creativity, and coordination. The solution delivered measurable results, including a highly accurate model that maintained critical city view corridors, won follow-up projects from the same client, and proved Graphisoft's platform could handle large-scale, complex projects from start to finish.
